When You Get Old

Singer: Karen Mok

Lyrics: Zhao Zhao/Yeats

Composer: Zhao Zhao

When you are old and your hair is gray

When you are old and sleepy

Can’t walk anymore, you take a nap by the fire

Reminiscing about youth , how many people have loved you in your youthful and joyful moments

Admiring your beauty, falsely or sincerely

Only one person still loves your pious soul and the wrinkles on your old face

When you are old and your eyebrows are drooped

The lights are dim and the wind is blowing

Your news is the song in my heart

How many people loved you when you were young and happy, and admired your beauty

Fakely or sincerely, only one person still loves your pious soul

I love your old face wrinkles, when you are old

The eyebrows are drooped, the lights are dim

When I am old, I really hope

This song is sung to you
